January 1 2009

Welcome to the New Year.


Happy New Year to all, I hope that 2009 brings you all of the happiness that that you desire.

May the dreams that you have be granted, may the deepest desires of your heart come to fruition.

2008 is over and let us greet 2009 with a great sense of optimism.

For the fist time in a long time…there is a sense of hope in the future.

In the best Scottish tradition…

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
And surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
And gie's a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne.

To all of my nearest and dearest...thank you for all of the love and support that has guided me through this year. I love you all.
